Race for Life

I can't believe I forgot to blog about our trip to South Jordan for the Race for Life. It was so great. Justin's gears needed adjusted but since he didn't want to practice, we did not have a chance to adjust them.
During practice, Justin was wandering around deep in thought. He came to me almost in tears and said, "I don't feel good without Bryan here. I don't want to race." One of our fellow racers got down on their knee, gave Justin a hug and said, "Bryan is in heaven watching down on all of us. He would be sad watching you stand on the sideline." That was just what Justin needed. After not being on the track for 2 years, he went out there and gave it his all. Out of 8 riders, he came in 4th. I was so proud of him and tears of joy fell down my cheek. I miss the Utah BMX family. I miss having that activity we shared together. I miss seeing my baby do his best and feel so proud of himself.
We will forever miss Bryan and be grateful to him for introducing us to such a great sport.
